Grepping for this message finds it in cgi/cgi.c:

                        if (cl > CGIMAXFORMDATAARG)
                        {
                                printf("Content-Type: text/html\n\n");
                                printf("<html><body><h1>Attachment size exceeds limit set by system administrator</h1></body></html>\n");
                                fake_exit(1);
                        }

You'll see this defaults to 2000000 earlier in this file:

#ifndef CGIMAXFORMDATAARG
#define CGIMAXFORMDATAARG       2000000
#endif

Looking at configure.in, you can override this value with

   --with-maxformargsize=.....

so I suggest you add that to your configure line.
